FoO presents the Calendar's first offical, and rather silly, awards ceremony. It is now over, but I'll leave this here so you can chack out the winners if you missed it. Go on, have a look'see...

WARNING: Exam Season, RPGs may move slowly.

WhatistheCalendar?Howdoesitwork?

The Calendar is basically a floodgate. It is here to stop tirades of RPG's flooding the forum, then dieing, then there being a period where no RPG's exist.

To this end the calendar exists. When you come up with an RPG idea you submit it, then when enough have said that they're interested you go on the waiting list until there is a slot and then the RPG can begin!

HowdoIsubmitmyRPG?

To submit an RPG to the community fill in this simple form

RPG Name: (The title of your RPG)Moderator: (Your forum name)Plot: (The plot for your RPG, this could be your title crawl)Character/Faction Based: (Just put down character, faction or either if you haven't decided)Number of people interested: (I'll fill this in as we go along. This field will be deleted when your RPG has reached 5 people)

Arethereanyrules?

Yes, these rules are not subject to change, but most are common sense anyway

RPG Name: A New Empire Part 2Moderator: GorogPlot:

Two years have passed since the Battle of Endor. Imperial commanders and Moffs break away from High Command on Coruscant, while the remaining loyalists struggle to keep the forces of the Alliance of Free Planets at bay. However, while having a wide base of support, the former Rebellion lacks the military resources to take Coruscant.

In a surprise move, Alliance and Imperial leaders meet on the planet ITHOR. Drawing up a peace treaty, the delegates decide on a new government, transforming the Empire into a constitutional monarchy with the reinstatement of the IMPERIAL SENATE, led by a President appointed by the figurehead Emperor who has been elected by the Grand Moffs. MON MOTHMA is soon appointed to the post of President of the Imperial Senate.

However, some former Rebels refuse to recognize the Treaty of Ithor, and accuse Mon Mothma of having sold out the ideals of the Rebellion to assume control of the galaxy. These Rebels maintain arms in order to establish a true Republic. Similarly, some Imperial worlds denounce what they call a false Empire, and instead aid the Imperial warlords. As the new Empire and its Senate try to establish authority, the Galactic Civil War enters a new phase, manipulated by shadowy individuals with their own agenda...

Character/Faction Based: Character

RPG Name: Age of the WarlordsModerator: FoOPlot:

[c]After the disasterous failure of Palpatine's attempted formation of a unified Galactic Empire the Republic collapsed and the galaxy fell into ten years of darkness. Now three factions, the Thyferran Alliance, the Grand Directorate and the Azure Imperium have arisen and vy for control of the core worlds, using battered fleets with ancient clone wars ships and cheap cruisers, a shadow of the galaxy's former glory.

Over all of this the Church of Truth holds sway, binding the planets of the galaxy under its vicious doctorine. However one team of Directorate scientists on Kuat dare to defy them. In an attempt to create the ultimate weapon they unleash the ultimate sin, they unleash the Force.

Character/Faction Based: Character, with mnior fleet details

Moderators

I've decided to add this section so that people can see at a glance if their favourite moderators or friends are planning an RPG at a glance, or if they're on the probation list. Thus I'm assigning everyone a colour, if you'd prefer a different colour don't hesitate to ask.

ProbationList

This is where a list of people and their crimes are put. If you are on this list it means something you have done has been deemed counter-productive to an RPG or the RPG community. Being on this list does not stop you creating RPG's through the calendar or playing in them. It is here to warn people of what you have done, so that if they don't want to run the risk of you messing something up half-way through.

Crimes include things like godmodding, flaming, spamming, quitting for no valid reason, etc. Basically anything that harms an RPG.

Darth Kiev: For abandoning ANE without reason, causing death of the RPG.

I'd be using Fate Accelerated to start, with the aim of homebrewing a new set of rules much further down the line.

Experienced RP'ers and newbies would be equally valuable to testing these rules.

A quick glance over the rules suggests it's pretty similar to 2d20 (minus the d20s). I'm game.

If we get one other person, we can do a trial run - if it works then it might be easier to get others interested.

It'd be done by the forum, almost in a Mafia style, if that makes sense. Idea would be to check in regularly, but not require a massive time sink at any time.

One thing I'm not sure of is whether the posts should be secret at first, and done simultaneously, or (the more likely) we have on 'Attacker' and one 'Defender' who take turns. This is one of the things about the system I'd need playtesting to figure out the best way to work it.
